Bringing you Australian history through stories of ordinary people living extraordinary lives. Most of the time I just lurk.

Those files they've released sure don't contain any information or communications regarding the honeypot and espionage operation.

All those cameras and all that storage space yet there's nothing to show for it.

The released files, whilst containing items of interest, are essentially junk.

Thetford dig unearths Iron Age war trumpet and boar standard The discoveries are "extraordinarily rare", say the archaeologists who helped find them.

I only just watched the Digging for Britain episode containing the discovery of the carnyx and boars head standard near Thetford earlier this week.

Such an awesome instrument.

Now you know why some people left twitter before he bought it and why he assisted with the 2024 election "win".

So let's get this straight....DHS denied that their agents use racial profiling by stating that they use linguistic profiling to determine a person's race and then racially profile them?

These guys can't even gaslight effectively yet they've been given the keys to your kingdom.

That was a great read, thanks for sharing.

Now imagine this, drones with eDNA sniffers able to pin down targets to a locality based on the large DNA database ICE is currently building and augmented via the recent US proposal to harvest DNA from all VISA applicants.

Based on these documents, ICE are taking DNA samples of all people who are detained. Combined with the recent US proposal that VISA applicants will be required to submit DNA, it indicates that the US Govt or lobbyists are building an expansive biometric database. Taking US Citizens is not a mistake.

Trump will use the Insurrection Act whether the people of Minneapolis are peaceful or not. He will manufacture the justification if needed.

He requires Martial Law for the consolidation phase. There is no escaping it.

Being peaceful in the face of violence is just kicking the can down the road.

You should create a discord server for your podcast community. This will allow like minded people to come together and share their experiences and prevent isolation.

Buried By Professor Alice Roberts. The book investigates British history throughout the first millenium using a combination of archaeology, osteoarcheology and DNA evidence.

Ancestors by Professor Alice Roberts. This book investigates prehistoric Britain using the evidence derived from seven burials. If you love Digging for Britain, then this book delves a little deeper into some of the sites from the show.

Crypt by Professor Alice Roberts. Another entertaining book this time investigating the medieval period to the start of the early modern period through evidence derived from archaeology, osteoarchaeology, historical sources and DNA.

The truth of the matter is that they intend to enact Martial Law regardless of whether it's in reaction to an organic event or a manufactured one.

The only difference is that they will be fully prepared and ready for action when they unleash the manufactured event.

I'd definitely read it if one were to be published.

I'd love to learn more about the Southwark Stews (more 16th century really) and the perils of operating or working in a bawdy house during the time of the Shrove Tuesday Riots and Bawdy House Riots.

You know, what would make this even more awesome.

Instead of the photographs, you could have the portraits they hate on sticks popping up out of his head.

Article titled "Bottled Sunshine" from the Albury Banner and Wodonga Express published March 27 1925 sourced via Trove. 

Bottled Sunshine.

Fortunately for the world its supply of Bottled Sunshine far exceeds that of its Wet Blankets. 

If this were not so what an unbearable place the world be. Some lands, peoples and centuries are richer in it than others. 

Children and puppies and kittens and lambs and all young things (unless they be ill) are Bottled Sunshine.

Precious stones and coal, flower-buds and seeds and the kernels of fruit are Bottled Sunshine.

Flashes of kindly wit and peals of laughter from out a merry heart are its very essence.

Beautiful, witching, attractive in an unstable, uncertain sort of way, are the dispositions of some people, of whom it may be said, "They have a mercurial temperament."

Better to be merry, to be known as Bottled Sunshine, with a heart as full of the joy and gladness of living as are the woods of singing birds in the springtime.

In my search of Australian newspaper archives, I came upon this lovely little article.

A gentle reminder to focus on the beauty the world has to offer, especially in times of darkness.

I think we can all use some Bottled Sunshine in our lives right now.

The petition is a cover for data scraping. The bait of 1 million dollars maximises the number of respondents.

We should be asking why Elon needs to have a large database containing the identities of potential voters in this race.

Why didn't anyone ask in 2024?

Elon Musk's PAC is misdirecting and scraping data from unknowing swing-state voters The right-wing billionaire's election-swaying efforts now include a campaign to data mine and misdirect key voters

You're forgetting about the prior data scraping done via his America PAC voting registration service. He shifted focus to the lottery petition after the misdirection and data scraping of Swing State voter information was noticed and publicised.

Maybe it's my subconscious reminding me how goddamn scary the US is looking right now.

Thanks subconscious brain...I really didn't need the reminder.

Last night I had a dream that the US Military opened up on a long time ally in an unprovoked surprise attack. The world was shocked at what had transpired. People were frightened.

Sometimes I have dreams that mirror later real world events. I sure hope this ain't one of them.

Interesting. It has been reported that Opus Dei operatives have infiltrated Australian politics over the past two decades but it looks like they've been just as busy on a global scale.

I'm starting to think that this administration's interest in attacking and/or ceasing mandatory vaccination is actually a covert method of population control.

Not because they represented Hillary Clinton but because they hired Fusion GPS who uncovered Trump's links to Russia via opposition research in the lead up to the 2016 presidential election.

The release of the Steele Dossier was the first time Trump's links to Russia were made public.

This is probably a dumb question but i'm going to ask it regardless. Do you happen to know the family (or genus) of the specimen that left this footcast?

Can confirm. I have a soon to be 12 year old that's ornery, trashes his room every day, eats like there's no tomorrow and has cost me a small fortune in vet bills over the years.

Jokes on them. The fascists don't know anything about them and are just as desperate to find out.

Governments around the world know they exist but don't know much more than that and they intend to keep it that way.

They can't even use any retrieved tech, they can only attempt reverse engineering.

To be fair, they wouldn't be telling Putin anything he hadn't already learned from Trump himself.

They really don't seem to understand that they are dealing with an enemy that doesn't play by the rules and is relying on their unwillingness to break the rules in order to win.

This is not the time for decorum. You can't fight fascism with polite disagreement and upholding norms.

So now you need to figure out what news story he was trying to minimise by flooding the news cycle with Tariff talk.

From now on, whenever he talks tariffs or releases some other deliberately divisive statement, look for the real story he's trying to cover up and amplify it.
